WHAT IS PFAS?
PFAS is a variety of toxic chemicals that have been gradually making their way and contaminating every inch of soil, air, and water, for the last 60 plus years. There are approximately 5000 known PFAS compounds in the world with 650 of them being currently used in the United States. The incredible stability of these chemicals along with the array of health issues they cause when we are exposed to them is the number one reason MR ALKALINE WATER was founded. MR ALKALINE WATER’s main objective is to remove PFAS from the available drinking water. MR ALKALINE WATER firmly believes that daily consumption of clean-healthy water free of harmful pollutants, as well as a balanced diet, light exercise and adequate rest, will allow our bodies the opportunity to regenerate to the point of being much less reliant on pharmaceuticals thus reaching a more natural-healthier lifestyle.
Here is a list of some known health effects associated with PFAS exposure:
- Liver Cancer
- Testicular Cancer
- Bladder Cancer
- Decreased fertility
- Increase risk of asthma
- Thyroid disease
- Growth and learning disabilities in children
- High blood pressure
